Improving mold control with pre-harvest fungicides
We continued our examination into Botrytis (gray mold) infections coming in and out of storage. Read about our findings and how to move forward accordingly through the application of pre-harvest fungicides.
Conditions to best manage leaf spots and blotches
We noticed increased incidence and severity of foliar blotches in apple blocks this summer. Read about the ways in which overhead cooling works to combat this challenge.
A New Layer of Data from Trace Genomics
The gap in fully understanding soil chemistry has always been a lack of data for the unseen portion of the plant: the root system and soil rhizosphere. This is where Trace Genomics—Wilbur Ellis’ impressive new offering in analytics—comes in.
Post-Harvest Irrigation Management
Almond harvest is not only stressful for growers trying to deliver nuts to the processor—it’s also inherently stressful for the trees. For several reasons, it’s not uncommon for orchards to go through weeks of dry periods in which irrigation is withheld.
Optimal Inputs of Nitrogen and Potassium
Traditional recommendations are to consider applications of up to about 20% of your annual nitrogen budget for pre- or post-harvest timing. However, this is not a universal recommendation. Likewise, post-harvest potassium has its own critical replacement rates.
Fall Foliar Nutrition
Almost 14 years ago, Wilbur-Ellis initiated trials investigating yield responses to various fall-applied foliar nutrients, and has since found that almonds are quite responsive to well-timed foliar nutrient treatments. Read up on the performance of our most successful treatments.
Intricacies of Salinity Management
There are no magic elixirs or wands that can be waved to make soil salts disappear—it is purely a matter of water moving through the root zone and pushing salts out of harm’s way. For those growers fortunate to have access to irrigation water, a good fall irrigation can make all the difference.
